I'm using it for a 9 ft. circular paver patio. It does the job, but it has a lot of loose larger stones in it that makes it harder to tamp flat and level. I plan to add a little paving sand and tamping it again before putting a final 1 inch layer of sand on top for the pavers to rest on. It's also a little pricey for what it is, but I guess you can say that about everything these days. Also, it's not like there are a lot of different options for paver base out there.

This was mostly rocks - All 5 bags
Bought what I expected to be something closer to decomposed granite. What I got was a bag of rocks with some dust in it. Checked a couple more bags, and they were all the same.

Waste of money
My husband and I bought several bags of this paver base weeks ago and it was fine. Went back last weekend and got several more bags and thought we bought the wrong item. That’s how different the product was. Quality control is horrible and the company should be ashamed for selling this garbage. How in the world can you call it a leveling base when it’s 90% chunky rocks??? If we hadn’t opened the bags it could have been returned. But even then, what a hassle. They know it too!

Creates a SOLID and DENSE base for you pavers
I had a walkway that needed to be redone because a bunch of chipmunks dug out holes under the concrete pavers, causing them to sink, making the walkway a tripping hazard. Over the winter, I also didn't want my shovel to catch on the uneven pavers when I clear the walkway of snow. This Pavestone paver base was exactly what I needed to create a solid footing for the pavers. It packs real well and very dense. I cut to size a 2x4 the width of the walkway and screeded the paver base to the height that I needed. I also made sure to grade it so that water runs away from the foundation. Once that was done, I used a 10” x 10” hand tamper and went back and forth packing down the base. I then laid the black panels and reinstalled the 450 concrete pavers above that. Laid down the edging and then packed the sides with soil and then added the polymeric joint sand and this project is now complete. This Pavestone paver base is so easy to use that I will go make a paver base under the BBQ grill as well as the generator with the leftover concrete pavers I have.

Hard pass
This stuff is almost all rocks. This is a complete waste. I am unsure how it even has any stars. Nothing like the pictures.

This is crap! Go to other home improvement store, they have a better product and well worth paying extra.

Too many rocks
I ran out of mason sand and only had like 2 sq ft area left to lay some papers so bought this and wasted my money and time. Atleast a third of the bag was rocks and definitely large enough to not allow for laying pavers
